The current tip is full and overflowing, it has to be a resounding NO! It is still going to cost the Warrington Community Charge payer loads of money with regard to the containment or the dispersal of the significantly large amounts of the toxic gasses produced by the rotting rubbish from the North West region.

been home about 50 mins. it was a good turn out with a great result. But how will they make the site SAFE by October 2013 that's what the licence says when they first got the rights to tip there. they need to start doing that right away. well done counsellors and the residents who spoke out an attended.

It's not full - that's the whole point. It's because so little now goes to landfill that it's not been filled yet. The question is whether it would ever be filled as landfill reduces, so even another 12 years might not be enough. Probably at appeal the key point will be whether there are enough other landfill sites in the region to take the waste that would not go to Arpley if it closes.

So they are trying to build a mountain of rubbish to rival The Pennines then and physically separate The North from The South of Warrington? I have no doubt that it is full and overflowing! I seem to recall that its original purpose was to raise the land above the water-table and create some form of flood defences when Gateworth Farm and the land surrounding it was devastated with this effluent treatment plant and the now horrific landfill site.

The area around Sankey Bridges stinks of filth constantly. Do the residents of this area not deserve to once again breathe cleaner air????

It's full, it spans a massive space and it's going to take probably 10s if not 100s of thousands of years to decompose...

It stinks a thousand times worse than the soup factory that used to be just down the road, Its just not human to expect folk to live like this.

This area has been a location for toxic fumes and immensely odorous air for more than a century, having been the location for heavy industry, the manufacture if lead paint and Campbell's Chemical Works, (no soup works though). There was a summer smell from the canal when the brackish water gave off an odorous miasma. There was also the smell of the agricultural trades such as muck spreading. Sometimes noxious fumes drifted on the wind from neighbouring chemical works in Runcorn and Widnes. It is now time for some respite for this area and it is certainly long overdue.

Shame were not getting 250 mph trains dragging nuclear waste to London wafting past the landfill to make the smell descend on the towns upper class in Appleton (made me laugh the other day in the London Bridge pub, which is apparently in Appleton being above the Bridgewater canal) that people in Appleton call Stockton Heathers "lower earthers" due to them being downst t'hill.

Must get cloth cap to doff next time in that side of town.

Soup / soap works perhaps (i.e. Levers).
Perhaps it's residents that smell (of the winged type or otherwise).

What is an odorous miasma?

Would my wife have one?

It was thought to have caused the cholera epidemic in central London and lead to the construction of the sewers in order to rid the City of human detritus and effluent.

"Would my wife have one?"

If you do have one in your home or business then a plumber should be able to sort it out or a person from Dinorod

The cholera epidemic in central London was accompanied a malodorous miasma according to Samuel Pepys -Warrington Guardian 1660. As SCA_in_Warrington says it was less a case of Dior and more slanted towards what wafts most times from Daveyhulme.

I was actual referring to a later event of Te Big Stink that occurred in the capital, thus:

Following an outbreak of cholera in 1853, Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer to the Metropolitan Commission for Sewers, prepared a report recommending a solution, by building two great intercepting sewers flanking the Thames, to drain eastwards to treatment plants, where "deodorised water" would be discharged into the river.

... and not the occasion you thought that I was alluding to.
